If you've always wanted to invest in shares, but you've never
known where to start, look no further! This new edition of
Getting Started in Shares For Dummies reveals in plain
English the investing secrets you need to know — how the
market works, how the stock exchange operates, and what brokers
really do. In no time, you'll find out how to pick the best shares
and diversify your portfolio, minimise your risk and maximise your
returns, and reduce your capital gains tax bill.

The world of share investing can seem intimidating to the
uninitiated, but it doesn't have to be. Free of confusing jargon
and packed with practical advice, this hands-on, friendly guide
helps you get to grips with developing an investment strategy,
assessing your risk, buying and selling shares, working with
brokers, understanding taxes, and so much more. Plus, you'll even
learn about ten great investors and their strategies — and
ten things you should never, ever do.
